Our law firm has grown from a small legal office established in 1933 to be one of the largest law firms in northern New York. Our 22 attorneys, 8 paralegals and over 20 other support staff keep our clients well informed of all developments in the matters we are handling for them.

In many cases, clients are actually being represented by a team of legal professionals. If your problem concerns a particular area of law, a member of our firm with proficiency in that area can often recognize the solution more quickly and inexpensively than a lawyer without extensive experience in that particular area.
